Introduction of UT One with 1Hz Variable Refresh Rate
220 PPI and 500Hz Monitors to Be Unveiled
Special Spaces Such as "CEO's Study" Also Created
Samsung Display is making its debut in Taiwan. For the first time, the company will participate in Asia's largest information technology (IT) exhibition, 'Computex 2025,' showcasing its industry-leading organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel technology.
Samsung Display announced that from May 20 to 23, it will set up a 'private booth' for its clients at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center in Taiwan, presenting a diverse IT OLED portfolio including products for laptops, tablets, and monitors. This year's Computex is held under the theme 'AI Next,' with approximately 1,400 companies from 34 countries around the world participating. At this event, Samsung Display will unveil its next-generation technology, 'Ultra Thin One (UT One),' for the first time, and introduce a variety of low-power consumption solutions optimized for IT devices.

UT One is the first IT OLED panel to feature next-generation low-power technology that enables a '1 hertz (Hz) variable refresh rate (One Hz),' which can reduce power consumption by 30% compared to conventional panels. The ultra-thin structure of 'UT' OLED, unlike existing products that use two glass substrates, applies a glass substrate (bottom) and an organic/inorganic thin film (top), making it 30% thinner and 30% lighter than previous products.
When UT One is applied to actual products, the reduced weight allows for either increased battery capacity in devices such as laptops or improved portability. Additionally, the refresh rate can be switched from 1Hz to 120Hz depending on the content, which enables effective distribution of power consumption.
Currently, Samsung Display is establishing an oxide thin film transistor (TFT) process for its 8.6th-generation IT OLED dedicated line in Asan, South Chungcheong Province. The company plans to complete the line so that mass production can begin next year. In the future, UT One products will also be produced on this line.

To accelerate the mainstream adoption of quantum dot (QD)-OLED monitors, Samsung Display will also introduce ultra-high-resolution and ultra-high-refresh-rate products. First, the company will exhibit a 27-inch UHD product with 160 PPI (pixels per inch), the highest pixel density among self-emissive monitors in the industry. Although not yet commercialized, a 27-inch product with 220 PPI and 5K (5120x2880) resolution will also be showcased. This product surpasses the company's previous highest resolution of 160 PPI, offering the highest pixel density to date. Combined with QD-OLED's unique color reproduction and fast response time, it is expected to become a tailored solution for visual professionals.
Additionally, Samsung Display plans to unveil for the first time a 27-inch QHD (2560x1440) product with a maximum refresh rate of 500Hz, as well as a 34-inch Q+ wide monitor with a maximum refresh rate of 360Hz, the highest among wide monitors.

Notably, this exhibition will feature a robot show utilizing Rainbow Robotics' mobile dual-arm robot, allowing visitors to witness the thin and lightweight characteristics of Samsung OLED. Attendees will see the robot holding both an OLED and a liquid crystal display (LCD) in its hands, shaking them, and then placing each into large cylindrical containers. By blowing air into the containers, the 18g ultra-lightweight OLED will be lifted into the air, demonstrating its lightness. In addition, spaces such as the 'CEO's Study' and the 'Gaming Room,' both featuring OLED IT products, are drawing attention.
Lee Jonghyuk, Executive Vice President and Head of the Large Business Division and IT Business Team at Samsung Display, stated, "The IT market is currently rapidly shifting from LCD to OLED, and this transformation can be felt firsthand at Computex. We will proactively address customers' technical needs with a variety of IT solutions and lead the market's evolution."
